Mt. Juliet, Tenn. – Come Monday morning, school zones in Mt. Juliet will be active as students head back to class. Mt. Juliet Police will also be out in force in their annual Back-to-School School Zone safety initiative. The police department will have extra officers working at designated school zones before and after school for the first few weeks, focusing on poor and unsafe driving behavior.“The safety of our children is a very important priority in our department. School zones should be the safest roadways in our community,” stated Chief James Hambrick. “Motorists who speed and drive distracted in a school zone, not only place risks on other motorists, but they place risk on our children heading to and from school. Our officers are going to work hard and be on the lookout for those unsafe drivers.”Digital radar speed signs will also be deployed during this school zone safety awareness effort. Mt. Juliet Police have three digital speed signs that display the speed of cars and visually warn motorists if they are driving above the speed limit.

In addition to the reduced speed limits in school zones, officers will be focusing on school bus stop-arm, texting while driving, seat belt, and child passenger safety laws in the enhanced enforcement effort. The enhanced enforcement will be conducted during the first two weeks of school as drivers and students become familiarized with school zones and new traffic flow. Officers will be deployed during arrival and dismissal times while there is increased school traffic. Random, unannounced school zone enforcement efforts will continue throughout the school year.

Parents are also encouraged to visit their child’s school website to become familiar with the traffic plans for drop-off and pick-up at each school. Elzie Patton Elementary recently changed their traffic plan for the new school year.
